Infographic – Guidance for CO2 transport by ship
Transporting CO2 by ship and by inland waterway will be crucial for climate action. A ZEP report documents addresses addresses key challenges in this area.
Experience in developing CO2 storage under the Directive on the geological storage of carbon dioxide
Permanent CO2 storage forerunner projects in the North Sea play a key role in Europe’s climate change mitigation efforts. But the success of these projects relies on clear guidance that provides operators with regulatory certainty. This report documents the findings of a workgroup convened by ZEP to address this requirement.
